FRIENDLY WIN FOR MEN

13 Feb 2013

The Men’s 1s resumed their outdoor season last night with a 2-1 friendly win over Kelburne at Auchenhowie last night.

Despite dominating possession, Kelburne had fewer first half chances than the hosts and the teams were 0-0 at the break. In the second half Kelburne took the lead but were quickly pegged back to 1-1 when Ian Moodie deflected Scott McCartney’s 40 yard pass into the goal. With fifteen minuted remaining, provider turned scorer when Scooter roofed a penalty corner.

Vishal was delighted. “It was a very positive atmosphere and that made for a positive performance. Scott was great and Hightower had a good game in goal. Calum Grant was very good in his first game back and I have to praise our youngsters who came in and did very well. Joe McConnell played most of the game and was first class. When you consider that Kelburne had virtually their full squad – only Johnny Christie was missing - I think we can be very pleased.”
